I have a bath with the composition of potassium gold cyanide and potasium bour hydride. and want to electroless plating of gold on Molybdenum. But gold deposited in the bath immediately after the entry of molybdenum. what is your suggestion to solve this problem? what is the reason of gold deposition?

I will be very grateful if you could help me. Thank you very much in advance.
